Do you 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:04.559 know who I am? I bet you've said that before. 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:07.280 I've never said that before. I don't think that much 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:11.119 of myself like that. How are you? Nick? I'm good. Good, 0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:13.160 Thanks for asking. No one gave you a hard time 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:16.360 about missing the show yesterday because they didn't really notice 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:19.480 or care. That's not I've had something to do with 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:22.440 being here for the first two that's true. Yeah, good point, 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:25.240 good point. You only missed one day, that is big 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:29.120 a deal. But this week you're at forty plus, Like 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.680 only one of the four people here takes the time 0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:34.720 to like keep track of what day, what episode it is, 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:36.560 and like you know all that, you know, have your 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:38.960 own sign off and your own greeting and all that. 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:41.720 If you're gonna do it, do it with flair man. Okay, 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:44.560 you know, all right, let's tuck some Cowboys football. How 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:48.720 many pieces of flair? Thirty three, thirty seven? It's pretty good. 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:51.440 Catch me up on injuries, what's going on with those 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:56.880 uh those inside? Okay, Um, you did not participation for 0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.600 three you know yesterday when we did the show with 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:03.200 Brian and I've had a good feeling yesterday that David 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:05.480 Irving would practice, and he did not. He did not. 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:08.960 So that's really that's that's what I'm looking at as 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:12.600 far as like really interesting developments. I think I feel 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:14.560 like the writing is probably on the Wall that Orlando 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:18.280 Scandrick's not quite ready, especially given that the secondary has 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:21.800 played well, no sense in rushing him back. James Hannah 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:25.799 upgraded to limited lyle Collins and Tyrn Smith both did 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:29.079 something yesterday, so uh, you know, Bryce Butler, same thing. 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:32.040 Like you kind of get the feeling that everything's sort 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:36.720 of rounding into shape except for your starting defensive tackle. 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:40.280 Have you guys talked to anybody about the concussion Eddie sustained? 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.560 And I mean it seems to be kind of lingering 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.440 a bit. It's now into the second week. I know, 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:48.560 all concussions are different. I'm dealing with that at home 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:53.359 right now. The concussions are different and and they don't 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:56.720 always progress the same way. They're not always the same way. Obviously. 0:02:56.800 --> 0:03:00.120 Rico Gathers, who we saw getting a concussion back can 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.040 training camp, ended up in ir and still is not 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:06.480 practicing fully with the team or whatever. So have you 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:08.440 guys talk to anybody Is this one of those that's 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:10.480 just like, is it always just a situation where you 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:12.840 wait and see or they thinking that maybe this is 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:15.600 a worse concussion than than others that they've seen. Have 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:18.680 you heard anything that suggests, you know, what his status 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:20.960 really is like long term here. I think the only 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.799 thing we've really heard was that he was making progress, 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.560 But that doesn't mean anything if it was started out 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:30.000 really really bad. So I'm sure Rico's made progress. So 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.480 you know, I got the I got the sense that 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:37.480 he would probably play this week earlier this week. I 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.760 don't feel that way anymore, right because he's not practicing. 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:43.040 That's exactly how I felt. I kind of mean, you know, 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:46.040 I mean, here's a guy that takes him, you know, 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:48.280 pretty much a nude picture of himself and puts it 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:50.880 on Instagram, you know, when he's not concussed. And so 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:53.160 it's what I'm saying, is is that never taking a 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.000 nude picture of yourself and put it on Instagram, you're 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:59.120 saying you have I'm just asking, like he made it 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:02.120 something like that was such a weird a MySpace thing. 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.200 You did it on MySpace, but never on Instagram. I'm 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:09.520 just saying, it's kind of crazy. He's a different cat, 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:12.800 that's okay. Trying to figure out if he's concussed or 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:14.760 not might not be the easiest thing to do, and 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:16.640 that may be the problem here that they're like, we 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:19.080 don't have a good base. We don't really know. I 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.839 wonder if I mean, you know, it's the guy that 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:26.520 was looking for his nipple ring at practice lost. He's 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:30.040 a different cat. There's no doubt I like David like you. 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:32.040 I just don't like David Irving. I don't like you 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:36.159 like he's the best he is. But I wonder, you know, 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:39.280 there's no I mean, he played with a concussion. That's 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.040 what he did. I mean he did. It's not like 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.560 he took a knock and exited and got evaluated like 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:45.760 he And that's the other part to it, too, is 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.279 that I guess you didn't see a moment in the 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:50.120 game when, like you know, sometimes you see a guy 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.919 you we saw Rico get hit and and we were like, 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.560 oh wow, that was a major hit. And and so 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:58.240 it didn't surprise anybody. I don't think now, as long 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.040 as he's been I was probably still surprising. But but 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:02.120 he didn't surprise anybody that that was something that was 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:04.680 gonna take a while. I don't remember that moment in 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.800 again in the game when David Irving, like when I 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:09.720 saw a hit and I was like, oh wow, no, 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:12.200 well problem, I guess, Well my point was gonna be, 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.560 is you know, didn't. I didn't. I saw him delivered 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:17.760 to somebody else. I didn't see him take the hit. 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:21.000 Was there a like that? Yes, he landed on his 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:24.520 back in that game, and I mean he he had 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.520 a hard time getting off the field. I thought he 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:28.640 was gonna be out right then, but he did come back. 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:32.040 But I know exactly that was that the one in 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:35.080 the Washington It was in the Washington game. Yeah, yeah, 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:36.800 it was in the Washington game because he came back 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:40.000 later and hit Cousins and then knocked him into Lawrence 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:42.919 earlier in that game. So this was before the hit on, 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.400 This was before the sack. Yeah, okay, yeah, this is 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:47.960 I mean not Rogers. Isn't good. I mean, obviously we 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.880 know this isn't a good situation because but he did 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.400 the play that I think happened on he he got 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.080 kind of flipped around and he landed up on his 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.479 neck and back, and he had a hard time getting 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:04.440 off the field. But but I my point was, I 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.479 wonder if they're being even more cautious, because, like I said, 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.520 it's not like you took the hit and then immediately 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.800 went into evaluation and you were done like he played 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.720 with it, which is I would assume even more dangerous. 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:19.280 So maybe they're using an abundance of caution in light 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:22.039 of that because he played the rest of a football game, 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:24.880 and that could also signal you can't trust the players. 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:27.320 It's a great point because if they if they if 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:29.160 he went on the sideline and didn't really tell anybody 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.240 and they didn't notice, they didn't see the hit to 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:33.840 say maybe there's something wrong or whatever the case might be, 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.560 if they were relying on his word and he just 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:38.880 was like, I'm good, I can go, Yeah, then maybe 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:41.279 they're kind of like, guy, we need to have more 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:43.640 testing and not really listen to the player on this one. 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:46.440 This time yesterday, I felt pretty good that he would play, 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:50.560 and I'm guessing I'm leaning more towards not now. Okay, 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:53.479 So that's that's the big one for me. So obviously 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:57.200 Scandrick has had I mean the with the back problems. 0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.960 He probably is not I wouldn't assume is gonna play 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.880 at this point. Talking about Bryce Butler, he's got the 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:04.840 foot injury. Last week when he popped up on the 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:06.280 injury or where we were kind of like, well, we 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:08.240 don't know what's going to happen. Now it's into a 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:10.480 second week. Is this a little more serious than to 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:15.720 maybe what we assumed initially, Yes, because I know he 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.440 wants to do anything and everything to play in this game. 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:20.680 He wants to play against his former team, the team 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.600 that drafted him, in an area that he's really familiar with. 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.080 I mean he you know, well, I say that he's 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:30.040 from you know, college in California, not really up there, 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:33.440 but he went, you know, he obviously played for the Raiders, 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:36.000 and so he wants wants to play in this game 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.720 and even said he was fine missing last week's game 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:42.640 if he could play this week. But I think he's 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:44.480 getting caught up in a couple of other things. I 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:47.040 don't think it's just the situation of his foot. I 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:50.320 think that it maybe Noah Brown is close enough to 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:52.800 take in some of those snaps that you put the 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:55.000 injury on top of that, but that wouldn't keep him 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:56.800 out of practice. Then I wouldn't keep him out of practice, 0:07:56.800 --> 0:08:00.520 but it might keep being active, Yeah, which is important 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:02.520 for him because he's on a one year deal and 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:03.960 after this year he's got to go out into free 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:06.360 agency and try to find another deal. And when he's 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:08.920 missing games with her not being able to put David 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:11.800 type of thing. Yeah, you know, I mean they want 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:13.600 to they want to put these He already missed some 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.520 games too, so yeah, I think that factors into these 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:20.160 guys telling trainers that they're good. I got him good, 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:22.400 I'm good. Yeah. The thing about a receiver is it's 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:24.600 different than a concussion. You got a foot injury for 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:26.800 a receiver. You you know, if you're not very fast, 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:30.120 everybody can see it. Yeah, and that's his thing. He is. 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.439 He speed, speed guy. That's what he brings to the table. 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:37.600 Speed pretty much theoretically not not speed enough for Nick, 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:40.600 but a speed guy. Nonetheless. Well, it's still the point 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:42.520 now that if you use saying Bolt doesn't come in 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:44.559 here with a cowboy helmet, I just don't care. And 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:47.000 it's just not it's not fast enough. When we were 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:50.439 at the Giants um, I asked him on the bus. 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:52.439 I don't know if you heard the conversation, Nick, but 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.760 he basically said that he was feeling around ninety five 0:08:55.840 --> 0:09:00.160 percent whatever that means, but basically insinuating that he talking 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:03.319 about Bryce Ryce health wise. Yeah, because I asked him, 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:06.079 he said the same injury. You know, back from training him, 0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:08.680 He's like yeah, and he kind of explained me, it's 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:13.760 like certain, however, he steps on the foot and maybe 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:16.360 bothers him a little bit in a way. But he 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:20.160 was saying from the way, it sounded like he's feeling 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:24.240 close to being, you know, one, and to me surprising 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:26.360 to see that he hasn't practiced yet. Were you nice 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:30.440 to him, like when this conversation happened, Like, were you 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:32.080 like asking about him? Were you like, why aren't you 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.880 playing whist boy? Like I can picture that very clear? 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:37.840 Like her, like her literally just like insulting, Yeah, just 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:43.040 like you're gonna play or you a coward? I asked him, Hey, 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:45.160 how are you doing? Because I could see him in 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:49.240 his face like he he is not, you know, very 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:51.680 happy right now. So I asked her, Hey, so you 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:59.560 were right Dan, Okay, yeah, I'm happy. That's just wondering. Wow, 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:01.880 it was on the bus with a bunch of players. 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:03.719 I don't think he's just gonna call him out. That's 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:06.640 a good Yeah. I don't know, Yeah, yeah, I don't know. 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.120 I don't know. She is kind of fearless. All right, 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:12.199 let's talk about inactives. I think we all kind of 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:16.559 agree based upon that conversation that Butler Irving and Scandrick 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:21.040 will likely be inactive this week. Going beyond that, you 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:26.240 basically have one, two, three, four, five, maybe six players 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:29.200 that you need to get four more four more of 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:33.400 them onto onto the inactive list. Let me throw out 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:34.760 the names and then you tell me the four that 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:36.679 you'd like to see that you think will be there. 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:42.040 Dayton Jones, Chaz Green, Justin march Lillard or Justin Durant 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:46.400 or both. If you choose Trey Williams and Blake Jarwin, 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:51.160 who are your four? Well, let's start with Trey Williams 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:55.160 real quick. Yes, he will be inactive this week. However, 0:10:55.679 --> 0:11:00.240 the Cowboys got to figure something out there because their 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:08.160 third running back is inactive. Now next week, Sekiel Elliott 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:12.280 will join the party, and uh, maybe he looks like this, 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:17.440 maybe he doesn't, but he he will be the third. 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:18.920 I mean, they won't be the third running back, but 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.120 they won't keep I mean they'll they'll probably have three active. 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.000 I don't think Alfred Moore they even have one like 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:26.200 Willy will They cut Trey william Oh I would imagine, yeah, 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:29.520 I would guess. But but my issue is is that 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.520 he's the third running back. He's inactive that won't happen 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:35.240 next week. You know, next week Alfred Morris will be active, 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:38.640 so will Rod Smith? Of course, Well, I think that's 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:40.559 an interest. I think that's a question. I don't know 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:42.520 if I think that's a that's a for sure, can't 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:44.920 be a question. You cannot bring this guy back wherever 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.040 he's been, what he's doing. He can't just come in 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.360 and say you're the guy. You got to have Alfred 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:51.960 Morris active. Well, but if you had Rod Smith active? 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:54.200 Is that? Is that not enough? Just the two of them? 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:56.480 I don't think now, don't get me wrong. If you've 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:59.480 got spots like this week, I think inactives are kind 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:03.600 of an afterthought. But but let's assume that everybody's healthy. Yeah, 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:05.439 we have five shows. I guess next week the thought 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:08.120 can we just focus on having a good Friday? Okay, sorry, 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:11.079 your third running back is going to be inactive, but 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:13.160 next week that might not be as easy. So tray 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:15.760 tray William w us next Wednesday. I agree with with 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:17.839 Nicholas for whatever that's work. I don't care what you 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:22.079 agree with. Wow, Okay, I didn't care. Cool, thanks, not worth? Sorry, 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:26.800 I gotta feeling sorry. I'll just turn this rest of 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:30.360 the show. Um, okay, Oh, go ahead, finish your statement. 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:34.800 Zeke's been gone for six weeks. You can't guarantee you 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:36.679 know what kind of condition he's in or trust that 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:39.079 he's just ready to rip off twenty eight carries his 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:42.080 first week back. I think it's the Seahawks against yeah, 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:45.959 against a very good defense, even with the injuries they have. Um, 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:49.199 so yeah, I wouldn't sit. Maybe you sit Morris for 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:51.600 the Eagles if if you know, if Zeke looks good 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:53.400 or whatever, But I would. I would have through running 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:56.199 backs active for that game. So going back to this 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:58.920 week's game, Trey Williams, Trey Williams, you think is that 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:01.079 is in sidem down? So give me three more guys? 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.719 Who was three? Lake? Darwin? How you down to two? 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:08.640 Jarwin and pick pick your linebacker? Probably one of the two. 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:10.480 You don't put both one probably you know, well you 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:12.120 don't need to put both. Okay, I would probably, I 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:14.240 mean i'd probably sit to rant because March Lillard can 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.560 play special teams and you've got all your other linebackers healthy. 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:23.440 Got eight one more between Dayton Jones and she Wait, 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:26.240 I thought you said we only needed three. We needed 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:29.400 four more. We had three stand Irving Bryce. You were 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:32.360 too busy trying to si. This guy's going to the 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:34.480 Pro Bowl, right, I knew you were going to do this. 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:39.600 Sp uh. Someday he will stop it. I guarantee will 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:44.760 Dave go. Um crap? What what were my options? I'm sorry, Dayton, 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.080 you down to Dayton Jones or Chaz Green. I think 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:49.199 your finals well all right, I think that I think 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:52.160 they felt good about what Dayton Jones did last week, 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:55.559 so I'll be well, oh um, what about oh damn. 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:58.240 You probably don't want to sit Daniel Ross either, not 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:00.800 if Irving's not playing. If irvings plan, I think he's 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:03.360 gotta be act. They didn't they sit him. They said 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:05.760 him last week against the Giants though didn't. Yeah, he was, 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:08.079 I would say, Daniel Ross, okay, let me ask you 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.520 this question, though, playing a team that has a running 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:13.040 back the caliber of the running back you're gonna face 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:15.240 this weekend, do you think maybe you need that extra 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:18.440 defensive tackle. I think I'm way more worried about how 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:21.000 my linebackers are playing than my defensive tacks. Got it 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:22.760 funny the way you say sign back because you already got, 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:26.080 but you're already gonna have on. I'm saying, like Daniel Ross, 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:28.400 isn't the difference between whether or not Marshawn Lynch has 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:30.120 a good day. That's what I'm trying to say. All Right, 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:32.640 So I would probably sit Daniel Ross, and you'd keep 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:36.800 Dayton Jones and you'd keep Jazz Green active just because 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:40.360 it's I mean, they've they've been practicing, or they both 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:42.600 were a practice yesterday. They've both played really well, but 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:45.360 it still seems smart to have an insurance policy other 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:48.640 than I don't I mean, if they're both gimpy, might 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.320 why not both? Yeah? I worked well so far. Just 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:55.360 just remember this when I said Blake Darwin James Hannah 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:58.720 has Yeah, there's something worth keeping an eye on. And 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:00.920 he's been he was limited yes your day day, so 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:03.120 he's you know, he's progressing. He miss wins the limited. 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:04.800 We'll see what happens today. And he's coming off his 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.120 best catch of his entire career. So I think everyone 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:11.080 probably play. I'm trying to figure out if that's true. 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:13.120 I don't know. I mean, we had a hard time 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:15.240 coming up with another one that was like that was 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:16.760 a great kid. I'm not saying it wasn't I'm just 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:19.120 that might be the best catch that any guy's made 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:22.480 for this team this year. Like, just that was very 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:26.200 good catch easily. Still. Yeah that was six years ago. Yeah, 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:28.600 that was six years ago. I mean, no one's putting 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:31.640 that on the T shirt. Six years ago. It seems 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:33.120 like a long time. It does seem like a long 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:36.120 time ago. Yeah, that's how seasons go, though. Ye think 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.200 about those games back in September, they feel like they 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:44.480 were two seasons ago. Like that feel like a long December. No, no, 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:47.080 Counting Crows, this isn't. Yeah, you don't strike me as 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:49.520 a Counting Crows fan. Nah, I don't even know who 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:52.480 that is. Yeah, you do shut out, seriously, I don't. 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:55.200 I don't know who that is. Who is that cool? Whatever? Are? 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:57.680 We'll put on some Marvin Gay. It's fine.

Should they maybe consider Rod Smith 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:21.520 having more of a role than what he's had so 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:23.640 far in these games where Zekiel Elliot has been out. 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:24.840 We'll do all that when we come right back.

Never heard a Long December by Accounting Crows. Sure, 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:35.320 I don't understand why that bothers him so much. Like 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:37.919 it's like one of those songs that it's just ubiquitous 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.879 in American life, Like you can't get away from it obviously. 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:43.080 So because I've never heard I mean, I don't know. 0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:45.800 It's one thing to say that I've you you don't 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:47.600 like it or whatever, but like if you've really never 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:49.520 heard it, I've really never heard it. Like seriously, I've 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:51.200 never heard it before. Crazy to me, and I listen 0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:54.080 to a lot of music. I just never heard that never. 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:58.119 I'm trying to think of a like you know, it's whatever, 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:01.520 stoy go away. It's the second time of the day 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:03.920 you told me to go away. Don't like this? What 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:08.199 you just don't like that kind of music? What kind 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:12.600 of music is that? What are you trying to say? See, 0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:15.600 Ken's got it pulled up on the boarders. How popular. 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:18.160 I've never heard the song, and I'm surprised. I'm just never, 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:20.560 Like you said, if it's one of those songs, just 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:24.159 see it, everyone, just hear. How have we not played 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:27.000 this on any of our seasons? Because every name December 0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:30.040 has been a long December? Like why has it been? 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:32.399 Like the music too slow to be on anything that 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:36.160 we would do. It's pretty slow. It's a great songs, okay, 0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:38.200 and I'm not right now, I'm not convinced it's a 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:42.440 great song. What is a great song? What is a 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:44.800 great song? I took this thing. I took this thing 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:50.680 off the rails. Go everybody, everybody, great song, Um, your 0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:55.320
